1. Glossary of Terms
Full Bridge: Two output drivers that can both source or sink current. When a load is placed between the
drivers, current can flow through the load in both directions.
FG: The Frequency Generator or tachometer signal; provides one pulse for every magnetic pole
RD: The Rotation detection or Lock Alarm signal is high when the rotor is blocked or spinning very slowly.
MilliTesla (mT), Gauss: Units of magnetic flux density; 1 milliTesla = 10 Gauss
Single Coil Fan: a fan with only one coil winding, usually requiring a bipolar or full-bridge driver
Locked rotor: The condition of a fan that has stopped spinning due to mechanical blockage
